John had the licence for the Quartz Reef Hotel at Howley from 1884 and was a member of the Mining Board from 1886. In 1894 he and his partner were declared insolvent. In 1895 when Jane was 36, she was one of the 82 women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. Her occupation was listed as "married woman". Jane registered to vote at the Howley polling place. In 1895 a gazettal notice advised that Jane took over the licence for the Adelaide River Railway Refreshment Room from Annie Myles in 1895. During 1896 and 1897, gazettal notices advised that Jane continued to hold the licence for the Adelaide River Railway Refreshment Room under the Licenced Victuallers Acts 1880 and 1891. An application was made to transfer the licence to Ann Elizabeth Dolan in September 1897 and Jane relocated to Palmerston where she assisted her husband in running the Victoria Hotel.John Barton Knott took over the licence for the Victoria Hotel from George Henry James on 8 June 1897 and transferred the licence to George William Martin on 13 December 1898. In 1899, the couple was taken off the electoral roll as they had left Palmerston.

No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland.

He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners
Poverty and access to maternal health care in Tajikistan
No full textUsing recently available survey data for Tajikistan, this paper investigates changes in the pattern of maternal health care over the last decade, and the extent to which inequalities in access to that care have emerged. In particular, the link between poverty, women's education status and the utilisation of maternal health services is investigated. The results demonstrate a significant decline in the use of maternal health services in Tajikistan since independence, as well as changes in the location of delivery and type of person providing assistance, with a clear shift away from giving birth in a health facility toward giving birth at home. Over two-fifths of all women who gave birth in the year prior to the survey in 1999 had a home delivery. There are clear differences in access by socio-economic status with women from the poorest quintile being three times more likely to experience a home delivery with no trained assistance than women from the richest quintile
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
